RAISING PIGEONS.

A System Which Insures Considerable
Profit at "a Trif1ing Outlay.
I aim to have only mated pairs and
never break them up, There should
be only as many pairs as can have two
nesting places each, safe from disturb
ance by the others. Those that have
chosen nests and have used them for
breeding will generally defend and
hold them for life. They often have
eggs in one nest while feeding squads
in the other. Young pigeons can be
sold as squads as long as any yellow
down shows on the head, but the best
time to kill them is when they are
feathered out, and just before they are
ready to leave the nest. If too young,
they are soft; if they fly any, they get
thin. They should be collected every
week, or every two weeks at least. If
eggs are broken in the spring, all may
be brought to lay at about the same
time, and squads will be nearly the
same in age.
IF it is desirable to increase the num-
Der of old birds, the late reared ones, if
allowed to remain, cause less disturb
ance, as they are not likely to mate be-
fore spring. Early reared birds might
be more hardy, but they soon mate and
fight for nests at time when there is
the most breeding; several may demon
alize the whole loft and cause much
loss of eggs and young. They are also
more apt to seek a home elsewhere If
near stores or mills where much grain
is spilled, but little feed will be needed.
but feed given them makes them at
tached to their home, and is as well in
vested as when fed to chickens for
market. TaXidermists use many white
pigeons, but of late pay so little for
them that it is more profitable to sell
them as squads. Dry pigeon manure
may be sold at tanneries for sixty to
seventy-fve cents per bushel delivered,
if free from straw and grit. The loft
need not be cleaned of this but once in
several years. The time to clean it is
in winter, when the birds have ceased
to breed. Keep your loft clear of all
but mated birds, have double compart-
ments well secluded for each pair of
nests, and market all the squads before
they fy.-iSdnsueI Custmeaa, In Farm

MY LITTLE AUNT.

Her name was Frances Adeline,

How long ago she died.

ana often have heard mamma tell,
With loving, tender pride,
How their large school joined in one class
To spell, and shea little lass
In homespun flannel gown
stood, while the half-grown scholars stared
CThe teacher in their wonder shared,
and spelled the whole school down.
When "bdelium,r 'phthisic,n "apothegm,' .
And other words were hurled at them
With sad but sure effect,
Ny little aunt still held her place,
Hearing with flushed, triumphant face
TIE teachers prompt Correct"
She was not seven when she died,
And every day close by her side,
Until she grew too i'll,
The things were kept with which she played,
In queer box her grandpa made,
And mamma keeps them still,
With other treasures she lov os best,
In an old-fashioned wooden chest.
I've often seen them there.
Ono of those old-time netted bags,
4 little doll, all made Of rags,
And sewed with greatest care;
Some shells; "Peter Farley" book,
Which has a very ancient look
And there's lock OF hair,
Soft hair, which brings back thro' the years
To mammals eyes, shining through tears,
A childish face, and fair.

And hear her speak, in dreams,
Peahaps because her name is mine,
For now I'm Frances Adeline,
How strange the whole thing seems!

Wine Made Without erape-Jurce.

French wine-merchants who COM
plain of the manufacturers of Hamburg
champagne and other German imita-
tons of the juice of the grape sold
under the names of noted French vint-
ages, have evidently little to learn in
the art of adulteration. Two of these
gentlemen, named Linden and MargOt,
have just been tried for selling spu-
rious wines, through commercial
brokers, in public sales at Macon, st.
Julien, St. Emillian, etc. A public
analyst gave evidence that the wines
were not wines at all; they were conn.,
position made with an infusion of dried
raisins, colored with extract of coal
tar. The defendents pleaded that they
had sold the wines as they received
them, and that the persons who had
consigned the wines to them were well
known. They also called as witnesses
a number of wine shop-keepers, who
declared that as wines 90, the defend
ants wine was not worse than any
other, on which the judge remarked
that it was not saying much for the
articles they sold. Some purchasers Of
the wine said that they believed in it
because it was sold by licensed
broker. One of them cOnsoled HIM
self with the reflection that it mattered
little as ''people nowadays drank such
muck" And another said that the
wine had an agreeable flavor of straw
berries, but as it gave his children the
gripes after they had drank it, he poured
it into the gutter. In spite of witnesses
as to character, who spoke highly of
the commercial integrity and honesty
of the defendants, Linden was con-
demned to eight months imprisonment
and 1,000f. fine, and Margot to one
month and 100f. The defendants were
ordered jointly to bear the cost of post
ing twenty-five printed copies of the
judgment. = Galsgnants (Parisj Mes

LEASING DAIRY FARMS.
Customary Terms for Renting Where
Cows Are Furnished by the Lessee.

Customary Terms for Renting Whore
Cows Are Furnished by the Lessee.
Sometimes the owner furnishes farm,
cows, implements, etc., and the dairy
man all the labor in the dairy and on
the farm, including work horses. At
the beginning an invoice is taken of
the stock on hand. AS sales of prod
uee or stock are made, the proceeds
are divided exually. Another invoice
is made at the end of the year, and the
gain or loss shared equally by the two
parties. No general rule can be given,
as there is so much variation in the
conditions. A renter can afford to
make more liberal contract with a
man who furnishes good farm than
one run down, and the owner can do
his best by good dairyman. AS a
permanent lease, the plan of shares is
q good one, but year of trial should
be given before a rigid lease is made
covering term of years. If the bust
ness is run one year and a careful ac-
count kept, it will furnish sufficient
data upon which to base an intelligent
lease for a number of rears. Written
agreements should be made in all cases.
A statement of the plans found salts
factory in particular cases, would be of
interest, if given in detail by those who
have worked land on sfsares. - Sn4V5e

was too timid and fearful to seek hospitality.
To sleep out of doors all night was no hard

a stone which he had prepared for pillow,
